Lawrence’s availability for Cotton Bowl up in the air

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dexter Lawrence’s availability for the 83rd Cotton Bowl is up in the air.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney told the media prior to the Tigers’ practice that the All-American defensive tackle could miss the Cotton Bowl against No. 3 Notre Dame on Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Lawrence, along with freshman tight end Braden Galloway and reserve offensive tackle Zach Giella failed a mandatory drug test by the NCAA. The three players tested positive for a steroid named Ostarine, which can be found in every day hair products or other everyday items.
